This was a tough one for me. Probably because I started my morning entirely too early and since I had extra time, I started baking. I didn't even think of taking any pictures until - well, it was time to clean the kitchen. Anything to get out of KP duty! :)

1. Food

Cleaning the kitchen counters off, I had to move the fresh hot peppers from my co-workers garden. Yum... can't wait to snack on them tonight!

2. Purple

I never realized how little purple we have around. I tried the garden, but we're moving into winter and don't tend to plant much in the way of fall plants. Then I remembered my adorable niece E from the pumpkin patch...

3. In Disguise

My Monsters, with their true personalities showing through their disguises...

4. Shape

I wouldn't say it's ONE shape per se, but I loved the shape(s) on this gourd.﻿

5. Photographer's Choice

Is it any wonder I call him one of My Monster's? I took the hint and went away...

This is the first time I've linked up for Scavenger Hunt Sunday. I usually can't remember what the topics are...but I remembered this time. Not sure why - but why look a gift horse in the mouth, right?

Words
This probably seems strange to some people - but when we left Cali, we left CJ's behind too. So when we visited for my brother's wedding, CJ's was one of our first stops. Love me some Western Bacon Cheeseburgers!

Just a quick shot that I took while we were at the pumpkin patch. I know... you're supposed to take pictures of pumpkins at the pumpkin patch, aren't you? :) I took a few others and this is one of them.

Camping last spring at a lake in Arkansas. My Monsters were determined to swim in the lake. Never mind that Dad and I told them that the water was pretty cold. Never mind that they forgot to pack their suites. Never mind that even our lab didn't want to swim that day.

The were going to swim - no matter what. So, what was a Mom to do - but let them learn on their own??

﻿

AAHHHHHH - It's COLD!!!!

It was a bit colder than they thought. (LOL!) Someday, they may learn to listen to dear old Mom...

Linking up with Faith over at ... . Be sure to check out the other great shots. :)

Yesterday we visited our local pumpkin patch. I love that this pumpkin patch has different variety's of pumpkins. Loved the stripes of one of them (don't ask me what they're called, I just don't remember). Snapped this shot. Didn't come out as I hoped it would - maybe I should practice adding texture to it?

About Me

Veronica

I had been thinking of starting a blog for a while and this is my first attempt. I’m Mom to girl-boy twins. I tend to refer to them as K and M. I never thought that kids would run my life. I don’t know if it’s TWINS per se, but these monsters – um, I mean wonderful children – don’t just run my life, they define my life. My kids stay active with football, baseball, cheerleading and gymnastics. Hubby and I have been married 18 years. (Wow – that means I’m getting really old.) We are what used to be a "normal" American family… house in the ‘burbs, 2 kids, dogs, cats, hamster, frogs, snakes, birds, mortgage and jobs. I have discovered a love of snapping pictures. I may not be great at it - but being behind the camera keeps me from being in front if it. Right?
